Akg-images
Self Portraits of Photographers
The organisers of this exhibition of historical and present-day photography from the image agency akg-images in Berlin (Archiv für Kunst und Geschichte - Archive for Art and History) asked themselves one question:
“Where is the photographer in the image?”
“Where is the photographer in the image?”
 |
There are both surprises and answers: in photographs, the photographers logically remain invisible to us as they are “behind” the lens. Usually, “all” that we find out about them and their view of the world is through “the image” itself and the photographer's perspective and style. The only way that the creator of the image can appear in it is through tricks – and this doesn’t always produce an accurate portrait. However it does create something very special: a photographer’s self-portrait.
In an “insider show” by and for photographers, impressive exceptions to the rule are presented.
From the picture archives of akg-images based in Paris, London and Berlin a few curious finds have been compiled to show a rare view of the photographer, one that has never been seen before.
Reflected by chance, appearing as a shadow in a photograph or artistically self-produced - the exhibition, which features only black and white photographs from the history of photography, demonstrates how to manage to photograph oneself while taking a picture.
The creators of images are brought back into the light of their own work by means of photography itself.

Blende – Europe’s largest contest presents itself
 |
Europe’s largest contest for amateur photographers, the German Newspaper Readers’ Photo Contest “Blende”, will be presenting a compilation of outstanding photographs from the last two years at photokina 2010. The “Blende” exhibit, which features over 70 photographs displaying a wonderful kaleidoscope of the creativity of today’s amateur photographers, can be seen in the centre boulevard 4/5 at the Photoindustrie-Verband and Prophoto GmbH stand.
Superlatives are in demand when it comes to “Blende”, which is characterised by the pure passion and devotion of the participating photographers as well as an abundance of diversity. One decisive factor for this may have to do with the fact that the German Newspaper Readers’ Photo Contest is open to all age groups from 4 to over 80 years old. It is the power of their images that make the contest so striking, distinctive and unique.
